Notes

Studio recording, 1990-1991, Use Your Illusion I sessions. All evidence points to Slash using his Kris Derrig Les Paul replica with Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro bridge pickup into a modded Marshall Super Lead. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this solo. Effects are minimal, with a likely clean boost for solos and a digital delay audible in the solo. Settings are based on forum consensus and typical Slash studio rig for this era.
